Hand Tracking For Low Powered Mobile AR User Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mobile augmented reality systems use general purpose computing hardware to perform tasks such as rendering computer graphics, providing video overlay, and performing vision tracking. Our current Tinmith-Metro modelling system implements a user interface which is based on tracking the motions of gloves worn by the user, but is implemented inefficiently in a mobile laptop carried on a backpack by the user. This paper describes how we have developed a tracking algorithm which is suitable for implementation in a field programmable gate array. This implementation uses minimal power and will allow future miniaturisation of our mobile backpack equipment. We present the results of studies conducted outdoors to find the most appropriate marker type to use, and also the overall results that were achieved during testing.

Accelerating the Mass-Adoption of Augmented Reality through High-Fidelity Prototyping
So far, Augmented Reality (AR) systems have been confined to research prototypes and niche applications. However, recent advances in AR research make it seem feasible that AR can go beyond this stage. We envision that it can find broad adoption on consumer devices; therefore, ubiquitously enriching peoples’ life. It is very likely that mobile phones are going to be the first delivery platform o...
متن کاملComputer Vision for Mobile Augmented Reality
Mobile augmented reality (AR) employs computer vision capabilities in order to properly integrate the real and the virtual, whether that integration involves the user’s location, object-based interaction, 2D or 3D annotations, or precise alignment of image overlays. Real-time vision technologies vital for the AR context include tracking, object and scene recognition, localization, and scene mod...
متن کاملFace Tracking for Spatially Aware Mobile User Interfaces
This paper introduces a new face tracking approach for controlling user interfaces in hand-held mobile devices. The proposed method detects the face and the eyes of the user by employing a method based on local texture features and boosting. An extended Kalman filter combines local motion features extracted from the face region and the detected eye positions to estimate the 3-D position and ori...

Augmented Reality (AR) constitutes a new user interface paradigm. Using light headsets and hand-held or worn computing equipment, users can roam their daily working environment while being continuously in contact with their computer systems. For AR to work properly in a large factory, new system architectures have to be designed with consideration to the special requirements imposed by AR. In p...
متن کامل3D User Interfaces
3D user interfaces (3D UIs) have a long tradition in several specific application domains such as VR and AR, digital-content creation (DCC), computer-aided design (CAD), and visualization. Such interfaces are also appearing in operating systems, PDAs, and mobile phones. The game industry has embraced 3D input as well, and new consoles employ video input, tracking, or depth cameras. Even 3D cine...
